Service learning is a teaching / learning
method that connects meaningful community service
experiences
with academic learning, personal growth, and civic
responsibility. It can be a powerful vehicle for real
school reform
at all grade levels, PK - 12.
It is important to make the distinction between community
service and service learning. What most people miss
is that service learning is the blending of both service
and learning goals in such a way that both occur and
are enriched by each other. Service learning projects
emphasize both sets of outcomes, the service and the
learning, and design the activities accordingly. Most
prominently programs that emphasize learning always
include a strong reflective component where students
utilize higher order thinking skills to make sense of
and extend the formal learning from the service experience.
